It will be understood by those skilled in the art that meeting/battery uses scale 400 to be edited by the divider (distributor) of battery manager 150.In practice, this table can be summarized to improve the efficiency of step 320 before being stored in battery usage data storehouse 180.Such as, the installation process in battery manager 150 and/or battery usage data storehouse 180 can comprise the title of manufacturer and the model (model) of mobile computing device 100, thus make it can fully for the particular model (that is, according to the iPhone5 of above-mentioned example) of equipment 100 provides battery use amount data.To understand, meeting/battery uses the form of scale 400 and use amount to be exemplary; The present invention can support that any suitable form for carrying out documenting (document) to actual battery use amount and/or method and use thereof are to estimate the battery requirements of future scheduling task.
Those skilled in the art will understand similarly, and the battery of the same model of mobile computing device 100 can not always perform in a similar fashion.Battery performance also may demote (degrade) along with the time.Therefore will understand, the present invention also can support the editor of meeting/battery use amount data based on the actual meeting undertaken by the task application program 160 on mobile computing device 100.These data can be added to meeting/battery uses scale 400 to correct according to the actual use amount on equipment 100 estimated value provided by battery manager 150 further.Alternately, these data can be used for replacing meeting/battery use scale 400.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that meeting that actual meeting/battery use amount data can use known application programming interface (API) to draw to check on mobile computing device 100 start and at the end of the current battery charge of battery 140.Such as, for Android device, the suitable API for monitoring battery electricity can be found on http://developer.android.com/training/monitoring-device-state/b attery-monitoring.html.Can at https: //developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/uikit/refe rence/UIDevice_Class/Reference/UIDevice.html finds the suitable API for iOS device.To understand, when making meeting/battery and using scale 400, also can use these API.
Return Fig. 3, the estimated value of the amount of battery consumption of expectation can be transmitted to scheduler program 170 (step 330) by battery manager.To understand, scheduler program 170 can comprise the estimated value in meeting details 30 as shown in Figure 1A.To understand equally, the grammer of the estimated value in meeting details 30 and representation can be configurable.
To understand, can carry a few days ago, a few week or even some months scheduling events in scheduler program 170.Therefore, the current electric quantity of the battery 140 when dispatching associated event may not be the equipment 100 of expecting is the reliable indicator that event maintains the ability of electric power when the actual generation of event; Battery 140 can carry out powering on repeatedly/power-off and circulate between scheduling events and the event actual time occurred.Until the definition time interval of scheduling events, it just may be relevant with about scheduling events monitoring battery 140.
Therefore, battery manager 150 can be configured with and be intended to detect low battery electric quantity before a scheduled event to provide the enough a series of warning intervals of prenoticing remedying situation in time.Such as, battery manager 150 three hours of can be configured to before given scheduling events start the battery electric quantity checking battery 140, after this have warning interval once per hour until event starts.To understand, the configuration started for three hours with interval once per hour is exemplary, and the present invention also can support that other start/interleaving pattern.
Therefore battery manager 150 can enter waiting status effectively until there is warning interval (step 340).Such as, battery manager 150 can be configured to make the first warning interval can be scheduling events before three hours.Battery manager can receive the current battery charge (step 350) of mobile computing device 100 by example API as discussed above subsequently.Now also with reference to Fig. 5, it illustrates the exemplary battery warning notice rule list 500 by being used for determining to show on mobile computing device 100 in response to the battery electric quantity received in step 350 which warning (if any) by process 300.
Battery warning notice rule list 500 comprises be used for determining whether battery warning notice to be supplied to mobile computing device 100 by battery manager 150 regular group.Rule in table 500 is by battery status 510, warning interval 520 and notify that 530 form.Battery status 510 can refer to the possible state of battery 140 and can be the function of three factors: current battery charge, required battery charge (that is, as determined in a step 330) and extra reserved (reserve) battery number percent that can be used by equipment 100 before a scheduled event.Each battery status 510 and at least one warn interval 520 to be associated.It will be understood by those skilled in the art that battery warning notice rule list 500 can be configured by the supplier of equipment 100 and/or battery manager 150.Battery warning notice rule list 500 also configures by the user of equipment 100 and/or revises.
As described in Figure 5, the interval of warning the earliest in battery warning notice rule list 500 can be " before three hours ".Therefore, according to the entry in table 500, step 340 can return "Yes" in three hours before a scheduled event.Battery manager 150 can use subsequently as at known API as discussed above to receive current battery charge (step 350).
As shown in Table 500, and the exemplary battery state 510 that is associated of the warning interval 520 of " before three hours " can be " needed for current battery charge <=20%+ battery electric quantity ".If this state is true (step 360), namely, the current electric quantity received in step 350 adds that extra 20% is less than or equal to the estimated value obtained in step 320, then can initiate will in the warning (step 370) of the upper display of display screen 120 (Fig. 2) for battery manager 150.Such as, if the exemplary estimated value drawn in step 320 is 25%, then step 360 can test battery 140 whether have at least 45% charge volume, that is, to estimated value (namely 25%), current charge volume adds whether 20% extra (it such as can be intended to support the routine operation of the mobile computing device 100 at least before scheduling time) be enough.Therefore, if the current charge volume received in step 350 is less than 45%, then according to what be associated, battery manager 150 can notify that 530 show warning on display screen 120.Suppose that current time is point in morning nine, thus port operation meeting " X " is the point at noon 12 after three hours, battery manager 150 can show to eject warns, and such as, such as " meeting X held due at ten two in afternoon.Please give equipment charge or save battery functi on to guarantee repertoire ".
As described in battery warning notice rule list 500, can have multiple warning intervals 520 of definition, that is, battery manager 150 can be configured to provide and additionally warn as conferencing (approach).If have the extra warning interval 520 (step 380) of definition before a conference, then control to get back to the wherein renewable step 340 of process 300 when there is next warning interval 520.Such as, as shown in Table 500, next warning interval 520 may be defined as meeting before two hours.If do not have extra warning interval 520 before a conference, then process 300 can terminate.
To understand, for given warning interval 520, test more than one possible battery status 510 possibly.Such as, as described in table 500, the warning interval 520 may with two battery statuss 510 and " before two hours " is associated.Battery manager 150 can be configured to test battery health 510 until the result returned by step 360 is "Yes", namely until the condition defined by given battery status 510 is true.
Such as, battery manager 150 can first test condition " needed for present battery amount < amount of batteries ".If this condition is true (step 360), then battery manager 150 can show ejection warning, and such as, such as " meeting X held due at ten two in afternoon.Please give equipment charge or be closed to guarantee repertoire now ".If the condition of battery status 510 does not meet, that is, " present battery amount >=required amount of batteries ", the then other battery status 510 that battery manager 150 continuation is tested and current warning interval 520 is associated.Such as, battery manager 150 can test condition " needed for present battery amount <20%+ amount of batteries ".If this condition is true (step 360), then battery manager 150 reality can eject warning, and such as, such as, " meeting X held due at ten two in afternoon.Please give equipment charge or save battery functi on to guarantee repertoire ".
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the battery performance of ambuscade may the designator of always actual performance.Actual battery performance can be the function such as comprising battery life, previously using forestland and the various factors specific to the resource requirement of given scheduling events.Therefore, even if process 300 can enable user start the scheduling events of the estimated value with required battery charge, but in actual use, may need than the more electric power of expecting to support scheduling events.Therefore the battery use amount during monitoring and scheduling event is advantageously gone back.
Referring now to Fig. 6, it illustrates the amount of battery consumption monitor procedure 600 used constructing according to the embodiment of the present invention and operate.Process 600 can monitor according to the scheduling at the warning interval during scheduling time itself amount of battery consumption used.Such as, process 600 can be configured to the electricity of every ten minutes or every 15 minutes inspection batteries 140 once, simultaneously scheduling events well afoot.Process 600 generally can with scheduling events executed in parallel.Battery manager 150 can receive as above for process 300 step 350 as described in the current battery charge (step 605) of battery 140.
Process 600 can perform until scheduling events terminates (step 610) in closed circulation.When occurring warning interval (step 620), battery manager 150 can use known API to check whether battery 140 is charging (step 630) at present.Such as, for Android device, suitable API can be found in http://developer.android.com/training/monitoring-device-state/b attery-monitoring.html.Can at https: in //developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/uikit/refe rence/UIDevice_Class/Reference/UIDevice.html, find the suitable API for iOS device.If battery 140 charges, then control to return step 610.Otherwise battery manager 150 can receive the current battery charge (step 640) of battery 140 as described above.
Battery manager 150 can use any appropriate method (such as discuss for table 400 and 500 those) to calculate battery charge (step 650) needed for remaining scheduling events above.Based on the result of step 650, if necessary, the estimated value of the remaining scheduling events of battery manager 150 adjustable.Such as, according to illustrative embodiments, the charge volume receiving 25% in step 605 as continuing for an hour of will dispatching and the event being estimated as the battery charge of needs 20% starts time current battery charge.Supposing that estimated value is accurately, can estimating within every 15 minutes, about 5% can be reduced the current battery charge as received in step 640.But if after 15 minutes, the battery electric quantity as received in step 640 may reduce 10%, then battery manager 150 can correspondingly adjust estimated value (step 655), that is, be not one hour 20%, but 40%.
If current battery charge is lower than current estimated value (step 660), then battery manager 150 can show warning notice (step 670) in the mode similar with the mode that uses in the step 370 of process 300 usually.To understand, and the function of step 660 can be performed independently, and no matter whether in step 355, have adjusted current estimated value.Therefore, even if adjustment is unnecessary, if battery charge is insufficient when scheduling events starts, then process 600 still can provide monitoring function.
Control can return step 610 subsequently and correspondingly proceed until scheduling events terminates (step 610).
To understand, it can be exemplary that the battery estimated value 31 in Figure 1A and Figure 1B is expressed as text, and the present invention also can support other representations.Such as, as referring now to Fig. 7 shown in, battery estimated value 31 also can utilize the shadow representation that is used to indicate required battery charge to illustrate for figure.To understand, the present invention also can support any other suitable representation.
